Birds of a Feather: Supersize my course, with a side of 40 TAs!
Abstract
Over the past decade, Computer Science programs have seen increased interest, with classes often growing in size to accommodate this demand. While enrollment trends have recently stabilized or even declined slightly in some cases, many programs are still serving these large numbers of students. One common response has been to expand the number of course sections, which requires hiring additional faculty to handle the increased load. However, this solution is often constrained by budget limitations and the availability of qualified instructors.
